A standout guard on the floor for the Tars and now the top assistant on the bench, Brad Ash enters his 17th season with Rollins basketball and 15th as the head men's and women's cross country coach.

Ash has been instrumental in Rollins' current run of success, handling recruiting, player instruction and alumni relations. Since Ash has moved from the floor to the bench, Rollins has posted a record of 328-157 (.676 winning percentage), won seven Sunshine State Conference regular season championships, four SSC Tournament titles and made nine trips to NCAA postseason play.

Ash's innovative offense has led to 11 players eclipsing 1,000 career points while he has been calling the plays. Two point guards in particular have excelled in Ash's system.  Jonny Reibel scored 1,679 points and handed out a program record 688 assists while also tallying 202 steals. Eric Faber netted 1,466 points in his career, totaled 615 assists and is the all-time steals leader with 276.

Ash was also instrumental in the career of Nick Wolf, Rollins' only two-time first team All-American. The shooting guard ranks second in team history with 2,035 points and 1,046 rebounds. 

A native of Anderson, Indiana, Ash graduated from Rollins in 1998 with a degree in elementary education and organization communication. He earned a master's of Education from Saint Leo University while serving as assistant basketball coach for three seasons.

Ash was a two-sport star with the Tars, lettering in both basketball and baseball. He racked up 1,238 points on the hardwood with 391 assists and 160 steals. He ranks fifth all-time in assists and eighth in steals while also ranking among the school career leaders in three point field goals made and free throws made.

Ash has three children, Addison, Isaac and Isabella.

Ash is in charge of all aspects of the cross-country team, including recruiting and coaching.
